Recipes entered into the Heering Cherry Christmas Cocktail Competition

My Cherry Amour

Flavor profile is reminiscent of Christmas fruitcake, raisins from the cognac, candied citrus from the lemon and orange juice, Cherries from the Heering

Cherry Baby

Delish and too good not to share. You could swap for Gingerbread Syrup for Cinnamon Syrup. You could also use chocolate or orange bitters. Cool use for

God Rest You Cherry, Gentlemen

A cognac-led sipper with hints of Remember the Maine, the sweetness tamed by extra dry vermouth and a judicious nip of bitter Cynar.

Port and Peter

Cherry Merrimint
